Custom Woodwork • Eliot, Maine
From Tree to Timeless.
Custom furniture, architectural woodwork and timber structures crafted from exceptional wood and built to last for generations.
From one-of-a-kind residential commissions to large-scale commercial fabrication, every project is built with the discipline of traditional craftsmanship.
Built in Maine • Serving New England + select destination projects
More Than a Woodworking Shop
We work with the wood from the beginning.
Many furniture makers begin with lumber.
We can begin with the tree.
With in-house milling, kiln-drying capability, an extensive inventory of exceptional slabs and decades of traditional woodworking experience, Wallace Wood + Timber can manage projects from raw material through final fabrication and installation.
That gives us unusual control over the material, the design and the finished result.
Mill
Custom and portable sawmilling allows us to recover exceptional material before it becomes firewood or waste.
Dry
Wood is properly dried and prepared for furniture, architectural and structural applications.
Craft
Traditional joinery, modern fabrication and decades of experience inform every piece.
Install
Projects can be delivered and installed as finished architectural elements, not simply shipped out of a workshop.
Selected Work
Built for the space.
Built for the space.
Built for the material.
Every commission starts differently: an architect's drawing, an extraordinary slab, a restaurant concept, a tree from a family property. The goal is always the same: create something that belongs exactly where it ends up.
What We Create
One shop. Four distinct capabilities.
Tree to Table
When a meaningful tree has to come down, its story doesn't have to end. We can mill, dry, design and transform suitable trees into furniture that returns home for generations.

Tree to Table
Your tree.
Your tree.
Your story.
Your table.
A mature maple, oak, walnut or elm can hold decades, or generations, of history.
When one has to come down, Wallace Wood + Timber can evaluate the tree, mill suitable logs, dry the material and design a finished piece around the character of the wood itself.
Months or years later, the tree can return to the same home as a dining table, mantel, desk, bench or other heirloom piece.
For Arborists + Tree Professionals
When you encounter an exceptional tree, give your clients another option besides disposal.

Material Matters
Exceptional work starts long before fabrication.
The character of a finished piece begins with the material.
Our sawmilling, drying and sourcing capabilities allow us to work with unusual dimensions, locally recovered trees and one-of-a-kind slabs that would be difficult to source through conventional lumber channels.
Rather than designing around what happens to be available, we can often find, or create, the material the project requires.
Sawmilling
Shop-based and portable milling for exceptional logs and custom dimensions.
Drying
Material is properly dried and prepared before it becomes furniture or architectural work.
Slab Inventory
An evolving inventory of distinctive slabs and specialty material available for custom commissions.
Timber + Outdoor
Traditional joinery. Architectural scale.
Long before modern fasteners, timber structures were built to lock together through carefully cut joinery.
We use traditional mortise-and-tenon techniques to create pavilions, pergolas and specialty timber structures with visible craftsmanship built into the structure itself.
- Pavilions
- Pergolas
- Outdoor living structures
- Pool structures
- Entry structures
- Timber additions
- Specialty structural woodworking
The Craft Began With Boats
Built on a tradition that leaves very little room for shortcuts.
Andrew Wallace founded Traditional Boatworks in 1998 after training in traditional wooden boatbuilding.
That background shaped an approach to woodworking built around material selection, structural integrity, precise joinery and the belief that what is hidden inside a piece matters as much as what can be seen.
Over the years, the work expanded far beyond boats, to custom furniture, large slabs, commercial interiors, architectural woodworking, timber structures and custom milling.
Wallace Wood + Timber represents that evolution while preserving the craft that started it.
Where it started: traditional wooden boatbuilding and restoration.
